Class and Race choosing for Shadowrun Returns

[Mikaladon]

Hey there.
I just completed Shadowrun Dragonfall which managed to both get me interested again in Returns and the actual pen and paper game more.
I had played Returns a while back but stopped for whatever reason, now after completing Dragonfall I can't help but want to go back and give it another blast.

The one problem I have so far however is deciding on what to play as. In Dragonfall I played a Troll Street Samurai which worked out well combat wise and manged to catch a fair amount extra options due to dipping into willpower, int, and charisma.
My one problem I had with the game however is it always felt very biased towards Deckers and I somewhat regret not playing one for that run, since it seems so many things gave them extra choices or just fit better with the plot.

I'm trying to find out if their is any classes that feature that flow better with the story of Dead Man's Switch, and what people might suggest. So far the only thing I'd say I wouldn't play as is Street Samurai since I've already played one. Any thoughts or feelings on the topic are greatly appriciated.

If anyone can give their same thoughts on Hong Kong that would also be appriciated though I still need to get that, and if the quality of Returns is anywhere near as good as Dragonfall I'm sure I will burn though it just as quick.

The only thing I can suggest is don't make a melee character for Returns. Decker a bonus, but not required.

There's a really fun build that fits perfectly for such a karma heavy campaign as Dead Man's Switch.

A combined decker and rigger, with just a dash of physical adapt.

Not much use taking physical adapt beyond Stride if you know what I mean, but still a very fun and deadly combo. Like Bruce Lee crossed with Neo, flanked by duel killer-robots.

I did play an elf girl mage in Return and it did work fine,i was new do all that.
Now i am playing Dragonfall with an street samurai elf girl with a bit of decking and such,a little mix ^^
I am up to play Hong Kong next as i've got it already so if anybody could give a little hint of what
class is the best for playing this game i would be appreciative.Its gonna be an elf girl again,as i am used to elf now after two games playing them.

My friend said for Hong Kong magic plays a fair role so something like a mage from how it sounded would be pretty good.

Oh really?That just sounds perfect to me,a little mix of a mage and a bit of invocation then,depends on how much karma you get.In the beginning i would concentrade on magic.
Thank you Weker :* <3
